snow reports

Snow is continuing across much of the upper Midwest this afternoon. The snow didn't pan out as heavy here in our area, but it still has been snowing all day. There was some light snow out there before I went to bed this morning around 8:00pm and it's still coming down out there.

Here are some preliminary amounts from around the area as of 2:00pm:

Additional reports of snow further south over eastern South Dakota have amounts from 5-7 inches with amounts generally in the 4-6 inch range across Minnesota. Southern areas of Minnesota and a large portion of Nebraska and Iowa have received appreciable amounts of ice and sleet. Some of the reports I've been looking through have anywhere from a quarter to a half inch of ice with some areas getting nearly 3 inches of sleet. That just sounds nasty!

So, those of us here in Grand Forks, it could be much worse!
Stay safe!
